Fixes

Batch Convert File Format to PDF does not work and causes program to freeze.
When editing database, EXIF or IPTC fields using Batch Set Information, new values are shown only when switching to another image and going back.
Copying images directly from Image Capturing Device is not possible. Use File | Save as instead.
Batch actions for Processed RAW files do not work properly in View mode.
It is not possible to tag, rate or assign categories to images using the Edit menu in View mode.
It is not possible to rotate PNG files using the rotate buttons in Manage and View mode. The image appears rotated in ACDSee but it is not rotated when viewed in other applications. Rotate PNG files in Process mode only.
The context menu is not shown when right-clicking image in View mode.
PPI is not preserved when using the Save As command or when processing images in Process mode.
Batch Set Information cannot clear existing IPTC or EXIF values.
Quick Search does not work for all metadata fields.
On OS X 10.5.8 only, the first time during any session Quick Search is used all items in the database are returned as results. The workaround is to retype the search again.
On OS X 10.5.8 only, pasting Process mode settings to more than 40 RAW images at a time does not work and the application shuts down.
Printing processed RAW files does not work properly. Original unprocessed RAW file is printed instead.
ACDSee database information (ratings, captions, categories, keywords) are not preserved when copying and pasting a folder to a new location, or when using Batch Resize.
Batch Resize will cause ACDSee to hang if applied to more than 100 large (more than 10 MB) images at a time.
When RAW files are converted to JPEG, TIFF or PNG, any existing IPTC information is not saved with the converted file.
If an image is processed on an external device, ejecting that device using ACDSee results in an error warning.
Saving NEF images to compressed TIF s results in black images
